Another update

May 12th, 2010

The Bad News first(That way you have something good to look forward to)
My small pinball machine I was working on, the hack one. Failed in concept. It’s going to cost me more money than anticipated to finish it.
I lost my camera somewhere so it’s going to be a while before I post another photo of stuff I mindlessly purchase (Yay?)
I’m still swamped with projects, so another rebuild of this site is far off.

Now.. The Good News
My mother bought me a home sized pinball machine. I’m debating on hacking it up or not. My mother knew this and that’s why she bought it for me. It’s a Zizzle Pinball so… no one is going to miss it.
I’ve purchased that Screw Driver I always wanted. So.. I can finally finish taking apart the junk I found on the street and save the parts that I wanted. So at least my apartment is going to be cleaner.
Hopefully and fingers crossed. I’m going to put up a router(The tool not the network device) this weekend. That plus my Saw & screw Driver set are going to make for awesome projects!

At one point in my life I had a whole bunch of table top games. I had all kinds of them such as Dungeons and Dragons, Gurps, Hero System, Rifts, and a lot more. Funny enough I didn’t pack them away properly and we had a pretty light fire in the basement from the heater. Of course when the heater went out it got really cold and a pipe broke. All of that has been long since fixed, since these incidents happened over 10 years ago.

I went down in the basement today to get my Hero System rule books, and that’s when I noticed…

Two more steps backwards

April 5th, 2010

So this is a quick entry. Last night I managed to break two relays that I thought were going to work in my pinball machine. So I’m researching a better method for working the flippers.

Got a new package.

In the end… all of this does link together towards one major project I am working on. But, in the mean time I have to catch up on my reading. :)
